Summary: What Happened to You? -...

Alice Moore, Liam Daniels

Summary: What Happened to You? (Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry)
You are likely to be familiar with the question, “What’s wrong with you?” We've all encountered it at some point, and most likely, we've asked it ourselves. But have you ever considered that this might be the wrong question to ask?
In a powerful and compelling conversation, Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss the importance of our past in shaping us and why asking “What’s wrong with you?” might be an unhelpful and misguided question. They propose shifting the focus to “What happened to you?” instead. This may seem simple, but it has been groundbreaking in changing the way we understand and think about trauma, which in turn has offered a significantly more optimistic approach to recovery.

On Hunting - A Definitive Study...

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Linda K....

Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.

Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will


·       discover how hunting formed us,


·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,


·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,


·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,


·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and


·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.


Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
